Maybe many people don't watch basketball, but the name Kobe Bryant is not unfamiliar to everyone. January 26, 2020, for science fans, is a day of eternal pain, the superstar fell, there is no "black mamba" on the basketball court.
Basketball, a sport that drives countless people crazy, has its own unique charm. Similarly, a good basketball movie, in addition to allowing people to enjoy the tense and exciting basketball game, feel its blood; it will also give people inspiration, trigger people's thinking, and transmit positive energy.
Today, I recommend a youth inspirational movie based on a true story - "Coach Carter".
"Coach Carter", also known as "Iron-Blooded Coach", "The Harsh Winter of the Cattle Herding Class", was written by Thomas. Directed by Carter, Samuel. Jackson, Rob. Brown, Robert. Feature film starring Richard and others. The film was released in 2005 and currently has a Douban rating of 8.5.
The film tells the story of Coach Carter who gave up the favorable conditions, went to a high school with the lowest grades, led a team with a poor record, and in just a few months, counterattacked into an invincible and excellent basketball team.
The biggest difference between Coach Carter and the average basketball coach is that he not only requires players to improve on the court, but also to improve in their learning.
At first, his coaching philosophy team members did not cooperate, the school did not support, parents did not understand.
Later, in the process of in-depth contact with Coach Carter, the players suddenly woke up: the person who managed you the most actually loved you the most. All Coach Carter did was to give them a great future.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, learn to respect and become the first step to winners</h1>
Carter was invited to coach basketball at Richmond High School, which had a top academic performance and a poor team record.
On his first day on the job, Carter set rules for the players: if the basketball practice starts at 3:00, it is late to arrive at the basketball hall after 2:55; whether between the players or between the players and the coach, they should be called "sir"; if anyone violates the rules, they will be punished.
Some players wanted to challenge the authority of his coach, talking without "sir", and were rebuffed by Carter: You are not sir, is it lady (lady)? The team members were dumbfounded by him. He also deliberately emphasized that "sir" represents a kind of respect, and this respect should be mutual.
On the second day of Carter's coaching, some people took his rules as the wind in their ears, did not arrive on the court on time to train, and the entire team was punished by him for turning back to run and push-ups, and if anyone objected, the punishment was doubled.
Carter's wave of operations played a role in killing a hundred people, and the thoughts of others to resist were also snuffed out in the cradle. It can be seen that the name of the Iron-Blooded Coach is really not just talking.
From now on, you play like a winner, you live like a winner, and you will eventually become a winner.
If you are willing to listen and learn, you will win the game, and winning here (on the pitch) is the key to winning there (off the pitch).
Under Carter's iron-blooded policies and devilish training, the Richmond team ushered in one victory after another. As the team sang and won,Carter found a serious problem: they began to become arrogant and even humiliate their opponents.
When he criticized the education team members in his own way for not using profanity and provocation to tarnish the game they loved, some team members were not convinced, retorting: The other side is also cursing.
Carter also taught them to be personable and to show the strength of a champion. I have to admire Coach Carter, who is teaching them both basketball skills and the truth of being a human being: how big a metric you have, how big a career you can achieve.
Remember that there is such a passage in "The Way of Speaking of Cai Kangyong":
Someone scolds you. You scold him back, it's a quarrel; if someone praises you, you give him a compliment, which is called socializing; if someone scolds you and you have a way to respond to him with a compliment, what happens?
I really rarely see this phenomenon, and if it does happen, I think the other person will be very shocked, and you will have a halo on your head and then be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Carter's first lesson for the team: To be a winner in life, the first step is to learn to respect, respect both yourself and others.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, looking to the future and realizing the beginning of the value of life</h1>
On carter's first day on the job, in addition to setting rules for the team members, he also required the team members to sign a contract, which stipulated that the overall average score of the team members should be maintained at more than 2.3 points (the school requires 2 points); the team members should participate in all courses and sit in the front row; and the team members should wear formal clothes and ties on game days.
If the players want to play under his guidance, they must sign a contract and strictly enforce it.
Under Carter's leadership, the Richmond Oil Well Team broke through the barriers and won 13 consecutive victories.
Just when the morale of the whole team was high, ready to win more games and enjoy the flowers and applause brought by more honors, Carter found that the team members did not fulfill the contract, many people were in a mess of homework, and skipping class and missing classes was commonplace.
When he seriously discussed the matter with the team members, many people showed an attitude of indifference. In their eyes, playing basketball is their only and best way out, and learning is irrelevant to them.
In the case of fruitless negotiations with the players, Carter chose to close the gymnasium, stop the game, and "drive" the players to the library to study.
His move was met with unanimous resistance from the parents and fans of the team. Parents also believe that basketball is the only hope for these children.
As a basketball coach, Carter only disciplines basketball well and leads the team to win more games, why does he have to bear the questioning and pressure of the school and parents to supervise their studies?
Only 50% of Richmond's students can graduate, and only 6% of the graduates can go to college, their lives should not only be basketball, learn their homework well, and have a better future.
He didn't want his team members to follow the old path of his teammates, some of whom were in prison, some of whom were shot, and some of whom barely made ends meet on their meager income. Their problem is that they put everything on basketball, and when their basketball career ends, their life glory and life value end. Except for basketball, they have no skill in social standing, and can only be reduced to the bottom of society.
Collegiate basketball is a viable option for some players, but to get such an opportunity, the premise is to do a good job in school.
As a "student-athlete", first the student, then the athlete. Learning and playing are just as important, but learning is the most important thing.
His goal in coaching Richmond is to make reforms, and what he wants to reform is this idea of putting everything on basketball, taking a long-term view, and their future possibilities are infinite.
Carter's second lesson for the team: looking to the future is the beginning of realizing the value of life, and their future is not only a possibility, but should be omnipotent.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, surpass yourself and move towards success</h1>
The first time I saw this movie, I thought it would be the same routine as a normal inspirational movie: from the initial failure, to overcoming many difficulties, through the tribulations to achieve the final victory.
Unexpectedly, in the last 5 seconds of the game, Richmond did not hold the last line of defense and lost by two points, such a dramatic ending was unexpected by everyone.
Does this seem to be different from what is written in the novel?
In the face of the final result of the game, the players were temporarily difficult to accept and depressed.
Coach Carter can always give the right guidance to the players at key moments, so that they can go in the right direction in life.
Coach Carter encouraged them that such an ending was not a bad ending.
You are no different from champions, you never give up, champions are always scrappy.
When you put in enough effort and wait for the result with expectations, you find that the result you are waiting for is far from what you expected. This is true on the basketball court, and it is also true on the field of life.
No matter which field, the result of winning or losing is important, but more importantly, in the process of pursuing the result, you can constantly surpass yourself.
In the last game, facing a strong opponent, Richmond's players were not afraid, although in the end they lost the game by a narrow margin, they won the respect of their opponents and grew, although they lost.
What you do today is far more important than winning or losing, far more important than the sports headlines in tomorrow's newspapers.
At the end of the game, Carter's words of encouragement to the team members in the lounge made people's blood boil and tears.
What you have done is what some people have pursued all their lives, and what you have done is to surpass yourself.
The loss of the match against St. Francis only means that they lost the opportunity to win the interstate finals, only represents the end of the season, and does not mean that they have a bleak future and a bleak future.
Outside of basketball, any skills they learn will play an important role in their future lives.
In the end, 5 people on the team won college scholarships, 6 people went to college, including many world-famous schools such as West Point, and Coach Carter became one of the ten most influential black coaches in the history of American basketball.
Carter's last lesson for the team: winning or losing is important, but growth is more important than success, and surpassing yourself is the only magic weapon to success.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end:</h1>
It's easy to win a game, but winning life won't be so easy.
Carter kept asking the players: What are you most afraid of? Hearing Coach Carter's heartfelt words at the hearing, the players finally understood:
What we fear most is not that others look down on us, what we fear most is that we have a bright future.
What we are really afraid of is our bright side, not our dark side.
Re-brushing "Coach Carter" can't help but think of a similar theme film in China - "Teacher. Good. On the way to growing up, I met a good life mentor, how lucky to guide you, please cherish! In this world, in addition to parents and relatives, people who can always think about you must love you very deeply.
